convergence readiness
Dimension Data’s assessment and roadmap for IP convergence delivers critical direction required by organisations that wish to integrate and maximise the value that IP has to offer. Our convergence assessment tool is an independent, consultative analysis, evaluation and business recommendation methodology, tailored to individual organisational needs.
The assessment delivers an understanding of:
- The business communications need or opportunity
- Solution and infrastructure options
- Operational impact
- Business recommendations
- The roadmap for convergence
We provide recommendations and roadmaps based on best practice, business strategy requirements and existing communication and technology capabilities. This assessment is the starting point for delivering superior internal and external collaboration with low risk migration.
Our assessment uses a 6-level maturity model structured over 3 critical project stages to assess the organisation’s current position and possible options for migration towards a fully converged IP environment.
Assessment focal points:
- Balancing investment against cost reduction
- Introducing scalability and flexibility without impacting service availability
- Simplifying the management of operational infrastructure without compromising quality
- Introducing flexible working routines whilst promoting best practice
Our convergence assessment results in realistic goals and outcomes. The methodology identifies gaps against Dimension Data's tried and tested maturity model and helps the organisation to make progress in manageable steps, in alignment with its unique technical and business environment.
